So why haven't they written a check for their fare share? Nothing in the tax law says they can't

How would you know whether any of them have or haven't? Not everyone calls a "look at me, I'm a fame prostitute" press conference to announce their latest bowel movement or endorsement like la t-rump does.

Get back to us when you have something concrete instead of a pathetic whiny question, m'kay pumpkin?

Actually I think Buffett did, as part of a grand political stunt where he challenged Republican members of Congress to pay extra and he'd match it.

FAIL - a faux story to a Buffet interview challenging turtle mcconnell doesn't mean a thing - that was an interview and not some t-rump staged event. And again - how do you know whether or not he paid anything extra? You can't answer the question.

Oh good grief.

Don't like that source? Then try CBS and CNBC, or about 100 others that Google easily finds...

Trump has a strange sort of relationship with the Democrats. At times he behaves as a sort of Pied Piper leading the fringe element of the Right out in to the open, making the Republican Party look somewhat foolish and Democrats competent by comparison. Remember how Trump fueled the fire of the birther movement until Obama finally released his birth certificate? It's safe to say NOBODY takes birthers seriously anymore thanks to Trump's efforts.

What's Trump up to with his endorsement of Romney? Romney better be on guard.....

One one-percenter endorsing another one-percenter — what's not to like?

I have to say it....You mean like the .1% buffet endorsing the 1% Obama? or throw in Oprah, Corzine, Kerry, Pitt, Jolie...etc. And of course my apologies to the .1% George Soros...forgot to mention him before

Rick Santorum is actually the intelligent, articulate candidate with the rugged record of getting things done 'against all odds,' which is exactly what we need to get our near-stagnant unemployment rate down and our still-growing debt decreased. Check out his MadeInAmerica Plan for jobs at http://www.ricksantorum.com/made-america, and his spending cuts plan at http://www.ricksantorum.com/spending-cu ... ent-reform. Rick has publicly pledged to maintain the 'safety net' for dependent seniors and others as he reforms Medicare and Social Security for sustainable retirement benefits. He has said he "would never hurt" these seniors. One of the fiercest battles of his career was for his Ban on the heinous practice of Partial-Birth Abortion. He overcame two Presidential vetoes and even an adverse ruling by the Supreme Court to get the Ban enacted into law. Rick has the courage, resolution, and self-discipline to get America back to work. He won't fail us! Check out his positions and record, and join his fight for America. A great bonus of his Presidency would be his support for a Ban on the tragic practice of abortion so prevalent today. If we could end this policy of 'throw away' of our unborn, I believe all of our children would receive better care and attention.

Well, ShirleySantorum did have just the slightest, tiniest, one-in-a-billion chance of winning... maybe.Too bad you decided to make his platform about banning abortions, he just lost that chance. Well done, you should be very proud.

Are there really that many conservatives out there who, in spite of all the challenges we face, still want to throw away election after election to promote extreme social policy changes that just won't happen? How about we make sure this country can last another 20 years, before we worry about who won't be able to suffer in it? I don't like abortions either, but changing it is going to take a major shift in society over a period of decades or more. Electing one guy, no matter who he his, simply won't do it.

However, rest assured that every time people like you bring it up, you only help to undermine your preferred nominee and possibly help the party that would never even consider the policies you advocate.

You are your own worst enemy. Congrats.

Trump is a shameless media hound. He's drawn to cameras like a moth to a light bulb. If we could ignore him, he might go away. Unfortunately the news media is too lazy to focus on things that actually matter.

Do you honestly think that if Obama wrote a check he wouldn't hold a national news conference to show it off? I mean he holds a primetime event to unveil his NCAA tourney picks. As for buffett he did write a check for a whopping $50k...which would be the same as me writing one for probably 50 cents. Got it tater head[/quote]

I don't think the Prez' good buddy Jeff Immelt, from GE wrote any checks at all, even for the 15 bil in profit he made ? My guess is Obama wrote him one for the fine job he is doing on whatever the hell the job is Obama appointed him do to create more jobs. If it smells like rats its probably just that

Looks familiar. Didn't we see this post earlier? "Repurposing" those old comments, Bevis? And where's your buddy?

We have seen this reply before...it usually follows yet another post that Romney is a rich man being endorsed by another rich man....BTW...I'm not a romney supporter. Just find it comical that all the Dems can say is he is an evil rich capitalist...but without people like him, Facebook wouldn't be going public...making billionaires out of more Dems....
